Of the 5 Master in Management programs we track in Portugal, only 2 publish a salary comparable across schools ($101,313 to $123,000) — too few to call a national median, so the figures stand as they are. It is the Financial Times Masters in Management weighted salary — alumni pay reported roughly three years after graduation, adjusted for purchasing power and expressed in US dollars — not the salary a graduate starts on.
Salary by school
Salary is the FT weighted figure measured about three years after graduation (USD, PPP-adjusted) — not a starting salary. A school not in the FT table shows its own reported figure in its own currency, which is why it is named separately above. Click any school for its full salary and career-outcomes breakdown.

Working in Portugal after your MiM
Graduates of a 2nd- or 3rd-cycle programme — a Master's or PhD — in Portugal can take a job-search period of up to one year under Article 122(1)(p) of the immigration law, applying to AIMA to look for work or set up a company matched to their qualifications. You will need to show means of subsistence for the period.
When you find a role, you change the basis of your residence permit from study to professional activity — a change of authorisation type rather than a simple renewal.
Tuition vs. salary
Tuition across these programs runs from €7,350 to €16,900, against the $101,313 to $123,000 reported by the 2 programmes that publish a salary.
Tuition is shown in EUR and salary in US dollars (the FT's reporting currency), and the salary is measured about three years after graduation while the tuition is paid up front — so treat this as a rough orientation, not a precise return-on-investment ratio. Living costs, scholarships and exchange rates all move the real number.
